PREFACE. 



In the earlier years of my practice I had to 
treat quite a number of patients afflicted with 
Neuralgia ; it seemed to be almost like an epi- 
demic. Being unable to obtain any but a 
very few, not very characteristic, symptoms, I 
made a study of the remedies having symptoms 
of Neuralgia in their pathogenesis. The notes 
then made were gradually added to, and I 
found them often of great benefit not alone 
in the treatment of Neuralgia, but of other 
diseases as well; and when they had nearly 
acquired the proportions of this work, con- 
cluded to add appropriate clinical cases and 
publish all, that others, who so desired, might 
derive benefit from it as well. Special atten- 
tion has been paid to give all the modalities, as 
I have found myself and heard others in the 
profession to express the opinion, that they 
often point out the similimum. 

I hope that the work may be a great help in 
alleviating human suffering and to further the 
cause of Homoeopathy. 



INTRODUCTORY. 



In diseases accompanied with very acute, ex- 
cruciating suffering, where the patient often 
demands to be relieved of his torture at once, 
and is on account of the exquisite pain often 
unable to give symptoms whereby to select 
the similimum, the beginner in Homoeopathy, 
or he in whom sympathy, for the patient 
overcomes the faith that is in him, is easily 
tempted to use old school methods for the im- 
mediate relief of the patient. But is the patient 
really benefited thereby? Assuredly not ! Even 
though relieved at first, the pain soon returns, 
often with greater intensity, and, the symptoms 
being changed, the difficulty of finding the 
similimum is very much increased. . 

Bnt if the physician has an efficient aid to 
help him to ascertain the proper indicated 
remedy, and has learned from experience 
that it is the easiest, quickest and most 
pleasant way to cure any curable disease, 
he will not be tempted thus, for knowledge is 
strength. This is my excuse for offering this 
special aid in the cure of neuralgia as my con- 
tribution for furthering the cause of pure 



INTRODUCTORY. 5 

Homoeopathy ; and if every true Homoeopath 
would in a similar manner give his mite in 
furthering our cause, what a blessing would 
soon accrue to suffering humanity and how 
much easier would be the labor of the consci- 
entious Homoeopath ! 

There may be those in our ranks who think 
that there are many unnecessary repeti- 
tions and useless symptoms given. True, I 
have endeavored to give all symptoms I could 
find directly connected with the matter in 
hand, but the repetitions will be found on 
closer scrutiny to be only apparently such and 
to vary somewhat in their modalities, location, 
etc.; and as to the uselessness of any symp- 
tom, how can anyone affirm such to be the 
case ? Those frequently styled " useless chaff" 
are named so because they do not occur very 
frequently, but are they not therefore the 
more peculiar and characteristic ? I have fre- 
quently seen such rare symptoms lead to a 
grand cure. 

While collecting material for this work I 
noticed in Dr. T. F. Allen's materia medica the 
following symptom under Phosph.: "Sleep:" 
* * * on falling asleep, * * * "auto- 
matic movements, as in sexual intercourse !" and 
thought at the time it would probably never be 
found in actual practic ; yet, before the year 



6 INTRODUCTORY. 

passed, this very symptom led me to give 
Phosphorus to a gentleman, set. 65 years, who 
showed this symptom, been sick for fifteen 
years, and it proved a brilliant cure ! 

A failure being often more instructive than 
an actual cure leads me to report the following : 

The patient, set. 45, a wood carver, suffered 
from tearing, shooting, agonizing pain in right 
side of face and head, especially in right occi- 
pital region, somewhat relieved by warmth and 
rubbing (which he had done so continuously 
that the painful spot there was denuded of 
hair); were worse evenings and at night, pre- 
venting sleep and accompanied with distortions 
of the muscles of the face and an involuntary 
upward jerking of the right arm and leg. 

He had been for five weeks under the care of 
a Homoeopath without any improvement. I 
attended him for ten days also with negative 
results. Then he had a small piece of a root 
of a right molar tooth extracted, against my 
advice, with almost instant relief, my dis- 
missal following. The respite, however, was 
short, the neuralgia returning with increased 
fury. He was sent to a hospital, where after a 
few weeks a deep right mastoid abscess showed 
redness and swelling externally; this was 
opened, the pus and detritus evacuated ; in due 



INTRODUCTORY. / 

time the wound healed and the patient was 
permanently relieved. 

It is self-evident that not all symptoms and 
modalities, which may occur in a case of neu- 
ralgia, could be incorporated in this work as 
that would require the whole materia medica. 
Only such symptoms, are given as were 
found in the works hereinafter referred to, 
directly connected with the disease under con- 
sideration ; the- study of the materia medica, 
Boenninghausen's Therapeutic Pocketbook and 
other aids, besides this monograph, must not 
be neglected. In undeveloped cases, where no 
symptoms can be discovered for the selection 
of the remedy, it may be necessary to give one 
of the following grand antipsorics to develop 
them, as : Calc. c, Carbo veg., Lycopodium, 
Phosphorus, Psorinum, Sepia, Sulphur; and to 
antidote previous drugging : Arsenicum, China, 
Natrum mur., or Nux vom., may be found need- 
ful. 

Such clinical cases have been introduced as 
tended to illustrate the action of the remedy 
and potency employed ; as to the potency best 
suited in a given case of neuralgia, I am con- 
vinced that the higher act best as a rule. 
Though I would not condemn nor reject en- 
tirely the low potencies, I must say that he 
who has never used the higher and highest 



8 INTRODUCTORY. 

potencies has never seen all the beauties and the 
grandeur of Homoeopathy. What music could 
be produced on a violin if each string could be 
caused to give forth but one note, instead of 
several octaves, each note differing from the 
preceding one on the same string in pitch and 
volume, due to the change of the string in 
length and tension. Is it not possible that a 
a similar difference exists between the different 
potencies of the same remedy, and therefore 
the difference in the action? 

The whole is arranged strictly alphabetical, 
first the remedies and their symptoms with 
clinical cases ; at the conclusion of this a very 
complete Eepertory follows each part, which 
for the sake of convenience is divided in six 
parts, viz : 

1st. Aggravations.

Facial Neuralgia, 

WITH 

Repertory and Clinical 

Cases. 



SYMPTOMS OF NEURALGIA OF THE 
FACE. 

1. ACONITE. 

Neuralgia of the trigeminus, left side, face red 
and hot; restlessness, anguish, rolling about, 
screaming. 

Supra- and infra-orbital neuralgia, pains in- 
tense, shooting, pressing, especially if in, or 
over, the left eye, brought on by exposure to 
cold dry winds, or sudden chilling of surface of 
the body when overheated. 

Drawing and pressure in cheeks, in upper 
jaw, and forehead, increasing gradually in inten- 
sity. Pains tingling, remittent and shifting, con- 
tinued later very intense, with anaesthesia. 

Sharp shooting, along the nerve, drawing, 
tense, involving ear and parts about it ; pulsat- 
ing, numb, or heavy feeling and swollen; pulse 
small and rapid, anguish, fear of death; noise 
startles him and is unbearable. The pains 
often begin with a slight itching, tingling, creep- 
ing and crawling; stitches and tingling here 
and there ; pressure and shooting pains in eye 
balls. 



20 ACONITE. 

Neuralgia with congestions from dry cold 
air or checked perspiration. 

Neuralgia of upper and lower extremities; 
sciatica. 

Aggr. At night, from cold, motion and noise. 

When a patient can give no symptoms for 
the selection of the homoeopathic remedy — 
"Aconite" will often relieve his intense suffer- 
ing for a time, and thus enable him the better 
to observe his symptoms, whereby to select the 
curative remedy. Magnes. phos. is reported as 
having a similar action, and is called by some 
the homoeopathic morphia. 

Clinical. 

Case L Mrs. T., set. 65 years, had for a 
number of weeks been suffering from neuralgia 
on the left — but also to some extent on the 
right side of the head and face; worse in left 
temple and about the left eye and ear. An 
old school doctor had dosed her with various 
drugs, but for the last three days had given her 
morphia, stating that it was the only thing 
which would relieve her, yet her sufferings had 
steadily increased. At night she was worse, 
restless and anxious, could not get rid of the 
idea that death was near. During the day it 
was not so severe, and intermittent, she tried 
then to do some work, but could finish nothing 



^ESCULUS HIPPOCASTANUM. 21 

that she commenced. She would, for example, 
begin to make the bed, but before that was 
half done she would feel compelled, through 
restlessness or an unexplainable something, to 
leave it unfinished and go to sweeping, and 
again leave the half swept floor to commence 
preparing for luncheon, and so on through the 
whole day, on account of which she feared that 
she would become insane. 

She received Aeon. 200 in aq. to take two 
teaspoonfuls every hour. She began to im- 
prove immediately and after two days' treat- 
ment slept for several hours for the first time 
since taken sick ; could continue her work 
without going from one unfinished piece to 
another, and after taking three or four powders 
Aeon. 1000, dry on the tongue, for the next 
two days, was restored to perfect health. — F. 
H. L., 1894. 

2. ^SOULUS HIPPOCASTANUM.

ceived Belladonna, but without relief. Finally 
she stated that the pains were worse about 1 
A. M., that they were like hot needles, and

Clinical. 

Case I. On September 15, 1885, I was sent 
for with strict injunctions to bring along my 
vial of morphia and injector. As I am happily 
not possessed of these inventions of the evil 
one, I went without them and found the 
patient suffering excruciating pains in the face 
and head, which were greatly aggravated by 



BELLADONNA. 29 

the least jar or movement, and which came on 
"like a flash. " I immediately called for a 
glass and dissolved a few pellets of Bell. cm. 
(Skinner), and left with an assurance of speedy 
relief. This man had been subject to such 
attacks for many years, under allopathic treat- 
ment, which usually consisted of the hypo- 
dermic injection of morphia and generally 
with lulling of the pain. But the attacks 
were growing much more frequent and increas- 
ing in severity : the old story. 

He told me next morning that nothing had 
ever helped him so quickly. On November 
23d he called for some more of that medicine, 
and said, that while he had not prior to the 
September attack gone longer than two weeks 
without pain, he had had no indications 
of it since then, about ten weeks. The present 
attack had been quite as sudden, although less 
severe than the other. A few doses of Bell. cm. 
again acted quickly, for I met him two hours 
later going out for an evening's amusement. 
On December 17th he had a few twinges of 
pain at once helped by the same remedy, and 
he has remained free from it ever since, now 
three months. — Wm. Jefferson Guernsey, M. 
D., "Horn. Physician," 1886, Vol. VI., p. 172. 

Case II. This patient, a practicing dentist 
of Frankford, consulted me some months ago , 



30 BELLADONNA. 

then suffering from neuralgia, and asked for a 
prescription which he knew would be Homoeo- 
pathic. For the past eight years he has not 
known a well day, so severe has been his suffer- 
ing that Profs. Garretson and Lewis, each in 
turn, has unsuccessfully tried to cure him by 
the extraction of branches of the trifacial 
nerve. Nor did the patient stop at butchery, 
but sought the treatment of two prominent 
Homoeopaths of our town, and all in turn failed 
to relieve what afterward proved so easy. 

The pains were sharp, cutting in right 
superior and inferior maxillary region, coming 
and going suddenly. Of course Bell, was the 
remedy to cure on account of the character of 
the pains. Of this T gave him six powders of 
cm. potency, and the patient has not had a 
return of the paroxysm, and to this day is free 
from pain — G. V. Allen, M. D., Phila., " Horn. 
Phys.," August, 1886, Vol. VI., p. 306. 

Case III. A young nurse girl, subject to ter- 
rible neuralgic pains in the right side of face, 
of which she had suffered frequent attacks for 
over a year. They came suddenly at night, 
waking her from sleep, began and centred in 
a hollow lower bicuspid — a tearing, beating 
and bursting, extending to the ear and right 
side of head, causing great agony, screaming, 



BELLADONNA. 31 

moaning and crying. A little relief was ob- 
tained by hot applications. 

A peculiar symptom was relief by burrowing 
or pushing that side of the head into a pillow, 
and pressing on a hard surface. 

Being of a Pulsatilla temperament, with cor- 
responding symptoms, a dose of the remedy 
gave no relief after twenty minutes. She got 
one dose of Bell. 200, which relieved at once, 
and after three minutes she went into a long 
and sound sleep, from which she awoke with 
only a little soreness. Several days after an 
extensive aphtha appeared on inside of cheek 
and on gums about the affected teeth. Several 
times there was a threatened return of the pain, 
but a dose of Bell, promptly stopped it. The 
patient had been accustomed to suffer in similar 
attacks for a whole night under palliative 
treatment, and scarcely believed she was cured 
except by miracle. — Thomas C. Bunting, M. D., 
East Mauch Chunk, Pa. (Horn. Phys., Decem- 
ber, 1894, p. 390.) 

Case IV. Mrs. G,, of Brooklyn, had suffered 
severely from facial neuralgia, mostly on the 
left side. She had been treated by a quasi 
Homoeopath for three months, but the only 
relief she had experienced was from the last 
remedy (Nux v. #), and even that was very 
slight. Noise and light made her feel very 



32 BERBERIS VULGARIS, 

much worse ; also if she attempted to eat, espe- 
cially when the food touched the teeth. The 
whole face was extremely sensitive to touch, 
she could not even wipe it lightly with a hand- 
kerchief; the cheeks had a bluish-red color 
and she was very restless at night on account 
of the pain. I sent her four powders of Bell, 
lm., with instructions to stop the medicine if 
she felt better. She took all of the powders as 
directed, one powder on arising in the morning, 
which improved her very much ; when after 
fourteen days of waiting on the remedy the 
improvement ceased, I sent her three powders 
of Bell. 50m., which completely cured her. — F. 
H. L., 1889. 

Case V. Lena 6., set. 14. Neuralgia under 
right angle of jaw, worse during the day, sleeps 
well at night ; cannot chew solid food, but can 
take liquids without any inconvenience. Throb- 
bing, hammering pains, which come and go 
suddenly ; worse from 8 to 10 P. M. One dose 
of Bell. 200 cured.— F. H. L., 1895. 

19. BERBERIS VULGARIS. 

Tearing and stitches in cheek and jawbones. 
Squeezing, rending and stinging pain in facial 
bones, and in upper and lower jaw, as if from 
a blow, extending to temples. 



BISMUTHUM NITRICUM. 33 



Clinical. 

Case I. A postal clerk was taken with pain 
in his neck on right side. The pain began near 
the right mastoid process, shooting like light- 
ning to the point of the shoulder and upper 
arm. He had to keep perfectly still and ex- 
tend his head to the left, putting all the 
muscles on the right side of the neck on the 
stretch, and keeping them that way. The 
least motion or relaxing of the muscles would 
cause a sudden cramp and he would cry out. 
I gave Bell, and Bry., but a close study of the 
case brought to light the similimum, which 
was : Berberis vulg. cm. I put one dose on 
the tongue, and when I called again in half an 
hour he could move his head in any direction, 
without exciting the cramping of the muscles.

when it is absent. There is circumscribed red- 
ness of the cheek with the pains. These sensa- 
tions are described, viz.: a crawling, ticking

Clinical. 

Case I. Mrs. J. F., set. 25, had been suffering 
for many weeks with neuralgia on right side of 
face, intermittent in character. The pains 
were slight at first, seemed to be in the teeth 
and caused by a decayed tooth. As the pains 
gradually increased in severity she had the 
tooth filled, and, no relief following, finally ex- 
tracted, which, however, greatly aggravated 
the pains, which were now sticking, gnawing, 
darting from place to place, often accompanied 
with chilliness ; cold applications relieved them 
somewhat 

Puis, in various potencies with Sach. lac. 
was given with little or no improvement. 
Later, when calling one day, she stated that 
she had very often a sensation as if wind blew 
into her right ear, when the pain would soon 
become worse and she could hardly eat, as an- 
other tooth, a molar in left lower jaw, seemed 
to be loose and pain her every time she tried to

chew on that side. I now gave her four powders 
of Caust. 200, to dissolve one in four teaspoon- 
fuls of water and take one teaspoonful every 
two hours, until she saw some improvement, 
then stop. She took three powders and needed 
no more.— F. H. L., 1892.

left) extending along branches of the supra- 
orbital nerve up into the head ; the pains may 
come and go suddenly. Flying heat in the face 
alternating with chills. 

Chronic intermittent neuralgia, occurring in 
regular paroxysms, with clock-like regularity,

ing several hours, with spasmodic distortion of 
muscles of affected side, the eye burns as if on 
fire. Periodical ciliary neuralgia. 

Aggr. Evenings, 7 or 8 P. M., when lying 
down, from hot applications. 

Amel. From motion. 

Clinical. 
Case I. A girl, aged 20, for two weeks has 
had severe shooting pains on left side of face. 
They recurred several times daily, lasting 



CEDRON. 41 

about an hour, and were aggravated by heat, 
and better when she moved about. Gelsemium 
lx and Arsenicum 3x gave slight relief. Next 
Cedron lx was ordered. This cured the pains 
in a few days, and was continued for a week, 
after which there was no return. 

Case II. A woman, aged 24, had endured 
continuous pain for a week on left side of face 
and head. The pains were shootiug and were 
made worse by hot applications. No teeth 
seemed to be involved. At first Gelsemium lx 
was tried with transient effect. Next Cedron 
lx was ordered and continued for a week, with 
complete relief of the pain, which did not 
return. 

Case III. Mrs. A., aged 30, for a month has 
suffered from severe attacks of left-sided facial 
neuralgia, recurring every night and morning, 
and sometimes continuing throughout the 
night, but not during the day. The pains are 
dull and gnawing and aggravated by warmth. 
Cimicifuga lx at first relieved, bub soon lost its 
effect. Cedron lx was then tried and continued 
for two weeks, during which the pain disap- 
peared and has not returned,— Monthly Horn.

Clinical. 

Case I. Chas. P., a tailor, came to see me at 
the dispensary, having suffered for along time 
from facial neuralgia. Had been treated by 
several old school doctors, but each one of them 
after treating him for some time with remedies 
and liniments, with hardly any relief, told him 
that he would have to be operated on to have the 
diseased nerve cut out, as it was the only way 
he could ever be cured. This was to him always 
a signal to try another doctor, as he did not 
relish the idea of an operation. He had been 
so long unable to work and had spent all his 
savings for doctors and drugs that he was now 
compelled to try the free dispensary. 

The pain was entirely on the left side of the 
face and neck. It would come and shoot 
through the face like lightning, e pecially in 
the house, if he tried to sew on the machine, 
or the children made any noise. The only 
relief he could get was by walking slowly about 
in the open air. He could only sleep after ap- 
plying cloths, wet with cold water, to the left 
side of the face and head ; when these got warm 
the pains would awaken him, but on reapply- 
ing them he could go to sleep again. 



CHINA OFFICINALIS. 47 

The relief from cold, open air and slow 
motion decided me to give him Puis, cm., but 
all in vain. 

I then assured him he must be mistaken 
about his symptoms, for, if correct, I thought 
he ought to have been cured, but he persisted 
that he had given his symptoms correctly and 
continued : " If I only touch my nose or cheek 
ever so slightly, thus," suitiug the action to 
the word, " I can bring on that pain," and the 
expression of his face and his groans showed 
that he had been more than successful. He 
was still worse from any noise indoors, heat, 
lying on the left side of the face and from eat- 
ing ; better from fresh, open air, walking 
slowly and from cold in general. Stool daily, 
but almost black, urine dark yellow. 

I now gave him China 200, to take one 
powder mornings and evenings. After three 
days he returned, saying : u I have had no more 
neuralgia since taking the second powder, and 
have slept well every night since without the 
cold cloths. You are the thirteenth doctor who 
has treated me for this, but the only one who 
has cured me." — F. H. L., Med. Adv., Jan., 
1893; The Clinic, p. 17.

Facial neuralgia with morning periodicity, 
pains usually commence on the left side, but 
sometimes on the right, and occasionally on 
both. Attacks commence every morning and 
continue from 7 to 12 o'clock ; or 10 A. M.; 3 
to 4 P. M. and 10 P. M. The pains are lancinat- 
ing, commence under the eye and soon extend 
into and around it, causing considerable lachry-

pressure. 

Intermittent neuralgia, pains return with 
great regularity.

Clinical. 

Case I. Capt. W., set. 56. Tall, spare, dark 
hair, nervous temperament, suffered from facial 



CHININUM SULPHURICUM. 49 

neuralgia for twenty-eight years. Sharp shoot- 
ing pain, beginning at angle of jaw and extend- 
ing up over eye along superior and inferior 
maxillary, seeming deep in the bone structure. 
Aggravated by slightest touch, by thinking and 
talking about it, by cold, in damp weather, 
by mental exertion or excitement. Relieved 
by heat, by hard pressure, by lying down. 
Very nervous, has frequent pains in different 
parts of the body, possessing the same charac- 
teristics as neuralgia. Frequent headaches, 
takes cold easy, very despondent, gloomy fore- 
bodings of the future ; fears he will lose his 
mind and become insane ; imagines everyone 
knows he is becoming an imbecile ; cannot read 
for any length of time, it makes the eyes 
watery, causes the head to> ache and become 
tired and starts up the pain in the face. 

His history is that of an old soldier, exposed 
to malaria and the vicissitudes of camp-life, ir- 
regular eating, etc. Had old-fashioned chill 
and fever and ate quinine by the teaspoonful. 
Received all manner of treatment for the pain 
with only temporary relief, and finally settled 
back upon the old and faithful friend (?) quinine. 

Every part of his body gave evidence of sup- 
pression of symptoms by the daily use of 
quinine, and upon deductions laid down in the 
Organon, that we should treat the last condi-

tion first and proceed backward in regular 
order, I commenced with his present condition. 
On December 10th ? 1892, he received one dose 
of Chinin. sulph. cm., dry on his tongue, and 
S. L. every two hours. No improvement was 
noticed for three days ; neither was there much 
of an aggravation until the night of the 13th, 
when he awoke feeling very cold. 

Thinking the fire had gone out, he started 
to get some more clothes for his bed, but when 
getting out of bed he became so cold that he put 
his clothes on, even to his overcoat, and went 
to find a good fire. After becoming thoroughly 
heated and putting more clothes on his bed he 
again retired, only to shake worse than ever. 
He then realized that he was having the 
hardest chill he had known sincejie was in the 
army. The next morning he reported his con- 
dition and said he must have some quinine or 
whisky. I told him that I could not give him 
either, but explained the reason for his experi- 
ence and gave him some more S. L. The one 
dose of Chin, sulph. is gradually making a new 
man of the sufferer. He has had but the one 
dose, given on December 10th, and continues 
faithfully taking his medicine. — Med. Adv., 
Vol. 30, March, 1893, p. 41. (The Clinic.) 

Case II. Mrs. E., set. 65, had been treated 
during five or six years, at different times, by 



CHININUM SULPHURICUM. 51 

two Homoeopaths for torpid liver ! During all 
this time she had not had a natural evacuation, 
the stool had to be washed out by an enema : 
there had not been the least desire for stool 
nor any urging. She had become very feeble 
and emaciated, and suffered frequently and 
severely from neuralgia on right side of face, 
which the treatment of her physician did not 
seem to relieve. An allopath being called in 
gave her a lengthy prescription, containing Qui- 
nine, Strychnine, Aloe, Podoph., Euonymus, 
etc., to be made into pills to take two, mornings 
and evenings. The first dose aggravated her 
so much that she did not take the second dose 
until the following morning ; this making her 
still worse the pills were abandoned and I was 
called. I found her delirious, temperature 
104°, but could obtain no symptoms. Nux vom. 
200, given at bedtime, produced a favorable 
change by next morning, but in the evening 
neuralgia of right side of head and face ap- 
peared, with symptoms of Bell., and this soon

relief whatever, she was rather worse in the

cluding the reproduction of pain by touch, 
which is not found under Bell., I gave her a 
dose of Chinin. sulph. 45m., in water, to take 
two teaspoonfuls every two hours, which gradu-

pain in four hours and never had another attack 
of neuralgia.— F. H. L., 1893.

Clinical. 

Case I. Mr. J. M., a gentleman, aged 72, 
spare and thin, of medium height, by occupa- 
tion an architect, was attacked in September, 
1885, by a violent neuralgia of the infra-orbital 
nerve on the right side. He is a plain liver, 
using neither tea or coffee, tobacco or stimu- 
lants of any kind, very regular and methodical 
in all his habits, and had for years enjoyed 
most excellent health, hence was at a loss to 
account for this attack. He felt as well as 
usual, no inconvenience or pain whatever, 
until on opening his mouth to take the first 
mouthful of breakfast he was suddenly at- 
tacked by severe, lightning-like pain, extend- 
ing from the infra-orbital foramen to the bicus- 



84 MAGNESIUM PHOSPHORICUM. 

pid tooth. On closing the mouth and applying 
hot water the severity of the pain was miti- 
gated and he was comparatively free, unless he 
attempted to eat or speak. 

Under Bell. 200 the pains gradually de- 
creased in severity and he could partake of 
liquid food, but for several weeks was unable 
to chew solid food. His teeth (at 72) are sound 
and have never troubled him, and a careful in- 
spection by the dentist failed to detect the 
cause of the pain in a disease of fang or 
alveolus. 

In February, 1886, as a result of facing a 
severe cold wind while walking, he had another 
attack of neuralgia on right side of face, worse 
on attempting to eat, from touch, cold water 
and when walking against the wind, could not 
bear the least cold air. Aconite 30 now gave 
very prompt relief, and in a few days he was 
himself again. 

A few weeks later another attack on same 
side of face appeared, decidedly intermittent 
in character, coming on promptly at 6 and 
gradually disappearing at 10 P. M. 

This was attended by great aggravation from 
touch, could not wash the right side of the face, 
even the slightest touch of the whiskers was 
sufficient to bring on severe lightning-like, 
stabbing or, as he expressed it, " nipping " 
pains. 



MAGNESIUM PHOSPHORICUM. 85 

From the early morning aggravation, the 
periodicity and the extreme sensitiveness to 
touch I gave him Chinin. sulph. 200 with grad- 
ual relief. But as the severity of the pains in 
the face disappeared, the right deltoid muscle 
become affected ; not only was it very painful, 
with entire inability to raise the arm, but nearly 
paralyzed the arm ; could neither feed nor dress 
himself. 

Rhus t., Sanguinaria, Plumbum, Ferrum and 
Tarantula as the indications appeared to call 
for were successively exhibited with only par- 
tial relief. The shoulder was still very lame 
and painful, and the face more than occasion- 
ally grumbled. The next attack, a few weeks 
later, had the following peculiar symptoms: 
Pains, supra- and infra-orbital, extending to all 
the front teeth of right side, intermittent, 
stabbing, nipping, lightning-like and extremely 
sensitive to touch, relieved by heat and press- 
ure, coming and going suddenly and attended 
by marked prostration and profuse night- 
sweats. When the pains in the face were most 
severe the shoulder was comparatively free 
and vice versa. No thirst, appetite normal, 
but obstinate constipation. Stool hard, small 
balls, difficult to expel, and no inclination 
whatever. Here was a totally different picture 
and evidently a difficult totality to cover. 



86 MAGNESIUM PH0SPH0RICUM. 

Magnes. phos. 200 promptly gave relief; not 
only the terrible neuralgic pains but the lame 
shoulder as well have remained entirely free 
to date. The doctor was relieved as well as 
the patient at the happy termination of the 
case. It was one of the worst cases I have met 
for years. A slight nipping returned in March, 
1888. He came in and asked for another dose 
of the same medicine, remarking: "Make it as 
strong as you can, doctor." 

Dr. Pyrell had in the meantime potentized it 
for me, so I gave him a dose of the cm., the 
strongest I had, and he has had no pains since. 

Case II. A lady aged 26, of dark complexion, 
dark hair and eyes, seven months advanced in 
her first pregnancy, had suffered terribly for 
four months from neuralgia of right supra- 
orbital region. When she came under my 
observation the pains were pressing, band-like, 
at times extending into jaws and teeth, worse 
at night, and confined entirely to the right side 
of the face. A few doses of Chelidoneum gave 
relief for three weeks, when it returned in the 
following manner: pains darting, lightning-like, 
intermittent, suddenly appearing and disap- 
pearing, relieved by hot cloths and pressing or 
lying on the affected side. 

Magnes. phos. 200 now gave prompt and per- 
manent relief, and with it disappeared an 



MAGNESIUM PHOSPHORICUM. 87 

obstinate and annoying constipation, which 
despite several well-selected remedies had per- 
sistently followed her during her entire gesta- 
tion.— H. C. Allen, M. D., Med. Adv., 1889, Vol. 
23, pp. 400-402. 

Case III. On February 5th, 1890, Mrs. D. 
M. S., a tall, large woman, obese and phleg- 
matic, 35 years of age, had neuralgia one week, 
pains in right temple, cheek and supra-orbital 
region. They came suddenly and disappeared 
suddenly, remaining, however, severe for a 
period varying from two to three minutes to 
two hours. In character they were tearing 
predominantly, but occasionally shooting and 
throbbing. No conditions of aggravation or 
amelioration had been observed. While giving 
her symptoms she was unable to restrain her 
tears, which fell rapidly without sobbing, a 
quiet tearfulness. She was apprehensive of a 
long and painful illness, which was probably 
due to a former experience, since some years 
before she had, on a number of occasions, in 
spite of the utmost exertions of her physician, 
two of our ablest and most conscientious thera- 
peutists, suffered for weeks with similar at- 
tacks before she was relieved. 

I gave her Bell. 200. February 7th (two 
days later), a careful re-examination failed to 
show the slightest change in her condition, 



88 MAGNESIUM PHOSPHORICUM. 

nor could I obtain further indications for treat- 
ment, except that she thought her pains were 
more frequent in the afternoon, and again 
after midnight. She received a dose of Arseni- 
cum, high, and on the next day, February 8, 
at 10 A. M., her condition was still unchanged. 
Bear in mind, I do not say unimproved but 
unchanged. Now, for the first time I dis- 
covered that the pains were relieved by exter- 
nal heat, for when I saw her she lay in bed, 
with the painful side of her face upon a hot 
waterbag, and this she said was the only thing 
which gave her any comfort during the 
paroxysms of suffering. 

The indications, now reinforced by this 
characteristic condition of amelioration, were : 
Tearfulness, apprehension of long: and painful 
sickness, pains in right temple, forehead and 
cheek, intermittent in character with suddenness 
of onset and dizziness, tearing or shooting or 
throbbing. Relief from external heat. She re- 
ceived a single dose of Magnesium phos., cm. 
F., dry on her tongue. About an hour later, 
by far the most severe attack of neuralgia, 
which she experienced, set in suddenly, re- 
mained for nearly or quite half an hour with 
unremitting severity, and then suddenly and, 
as it proved, finally disappeared. For since 
this time she has not the faintest pain in these

Clinical. 
Case 1. Mr. L. A., of Oswego, N. Y., aged 
76, eyes blue, 160 pounds, bilious tempera- 
ment, has neuralgia. Soreness, lightning-like, 
and at times zig-zag flashes along the tract of 
the fifth nerve. Attacks are provoked by a 
cessation or lessening of the coryza, in damp 
cold weather, or indigestion. They are accom- 
panied with dysphagia, aphasia once, and 
drawing of facial muscles to the right side. 
The aphasia was temporary, lasting but a few 
hours. The soreness and pain are aggravated 
by touch, eating, talking, fatigue, riding; they 
are jabbing, sticking and are aggravated by 
deglutition, empty or of hot water or food. 
Swallows solid food easiest and with least- 
pain. The coryza still persists and comes on 
early, at 4 A. M.. The symptoms of coryza are 
a profuse, thin, watery, odorless, hot discharge 
from both nostrils, and from eyes, with sneez- 
ing as a starter. When the coryza or catar- 
rhal symptoms are worse he has less facial 
neuralgia, and vice versa. 



NATRUM MURIATICUM. 95 

His sight is ordinarily good, also hearing. 
Taste is blunted, and it is hard to distinguish 
flavors. The sense of smell is fair. The coryza 
is worse from 4 to 8 A. M.; also better from 
warmth. The tic douloureux better from 
warmth, quietude, sleep and pressing over the 
puncta ; worse from swallowing, riding, jar- 
ring, eating, drinking; comes on at any time. 
For some time he has had sleeplessness, is rest- 
less at night, changes position often, gets up 
and walks about. Slept very well until he 
commenced to take morphine. Under these 
circumstances of late he goes to sleep at 3 A. 
M.; has been taking " McMunn's Elixir of 
Opium." 

Temperature normal, pulse quite fair. When 
the tic douloureux is aggravated he has dys- 
phagia, swallowing solids best, the obstruction 
seeming to be of the nature of a tumor, more 
to the left, and he has a profuse perspiration 
that gives no relief. 

October 31st. Mr. A. has been improving 
since the first, has far less neuralgia, less sen- 
sitive to touch, eats and swallows better, sleeps 
well, has better circulation, but he has slight 
returns when the weather is damp, or from 
errors of diet, fat, rich food. 

Janury 10, 1894, and May 2, >94. Mr. A. 
came to-day and stated as follows : The tic

douloreux is better, had but two attacks when 
in Connecticut and but two or three since. 
Has some pain in left malar bone, a sore pain, 
has better power to swallow, to eat, to smooth 
his whiskers, to press the parts. Has good 
appetite and digestion, only occasional disturb- 
ance after meals, fats disagree. Has 40 per 
cent, less of coryza than before, can smell 
better, blow the nose better and with less sore- 
ness than before. Has fewer u tics " but some 
neuralgia in occiput and in upper neck, has no 
pain at night. Some soreness of stomach after 
eating, something like an hour or so after a

Case I. On January 4, 1893. Rev. Mr. 



was referred to me by Dr. S. F. Wilcox for my 
opinion as to the advisability of evulsion of the 
fifth nerve for a frightfully severe neuralgia. 

The history was as follows: Some ten years 
ago he had a second molar tooth extracted 
from upper jaw, right side. Bleeding con- 
tinued for eight days; there was some slight 
pain on touching the vacant space and on 
washing the face. He had a bad attack of 
neuralgia on that side in about three months. 
it lasted a short while. This was repeated. 
and the attacks gradually grew longer in dura- 
tion and more frequent. Two years ago he 
underwent the operation of resection of the 
maxillary branch of the nerve at the foramen 
at the malar bone, and experienced relief from 
pain during the following summer. The trouble. 
however, returned in the autumn or early 
winter, and now he has no relief from pain.

98 NATRUM SULPHURICUM. 

At present the pain is worse after midnight. 
Any movement of jaws or tongue will aggra- 
vate existing pain, or bring on a frightful 
paroxysm. A drink of cold water aggravates, 
while hot water sometimes relieves. Is some- 
what easier by lying down, but is intensely 
restless, cannot lie still at night. There is no 
thirst, feet and hands always cold. Bowels 
regular, but has piles, which get worse when 
the neuralgia is worse. He could not open his 
mouth to show me his tongue? and it was ex- 
tremely difficult to understand his speech. 
Upon asking how he managed to preach, he 
said he did but little of that, and that after he 
got excited he could open his mouth somewhat 
and so make the necessary announcements to 
his congregation or preach a short sermon. 

Arsenicum 30 was prescribed. In ten days 
he returned, saying that his nights were not so 
bad, but that there was no other essential im- 
provement. 

I could now examine his tongue and found it 
coated in its posterior two-thirds with a thick 
yellowish-brown layer. As this colored coating 
of the tongue is given by Schussler as a char- 
acteristic for Natrum sulphuricum, I was 
anxious to get some more and better indica- 
tions for that remedy, and upon further inquiry 
J found that the trouble began when he was 



NITRI SPIRITUS DULCIS. 99 

living in a very damp house, the walls of which 
were frequently moist, and that the earlier 
attacks always came after he had been down in 
the cellar. On this indication I gave Natrum 
sulph. 6, to be taken in water, with instructions 
to cease taking it as soon as any improvement 
was noted. The result was marvelous and he 
got practically well, and in the course of a few 
months took a parish in another part of the 
country. Had not the operation been per- 
formed on the nerve I feel sure that the cure 
would have been absolute before he left. 

My chief object in recording this case is to 
urge upon the practitioners of Homoeopathy to 
seek always for the cause of the trouble in 
chronic disease, and to prescribe according to 
the causal indications, where such exists in the 
materia medica. This is the only short cut 
that I know of in selecting the remedy. —

often thirteen times in twenty-four hours ; if 
the pain is on the left side, it is very severe and 
vomiting is better ; the eye is sympathetically 
affected, pupil contracted, eyelid hanging ; 
shortness of breath and wheezing before an 
attack, especially while eating.

hot nor cold affect it, pain generally less after 
sundown. The severest spells are usually 
in the forenoon and afternoon ; sometimes 
attacks are semilateral ; exceeding restlessness 
with the pain ; better walking and moving in the 
open air ; worse in wet weather and when over- 
worked. Thinks attacks were brought on by 
mental application and long hours of sedentary

every stool, often difficult to reduce. 

Every morning at eight o'clock, pressing, 
boring and stitching pains along the course of 
left supra-orbital nerve, pain effects whole left 
side of forehead, and when it is at its height 
(at about 11 o'clock) it extends to the left eye, 
which then seems to be pulled deep into orbital 
cavity ; lachrymation from left eye. The attacks 
cease at 2 P. M.; face earthy, despondent,

Case I. Mrs. T., set. 40, spare habit, but very 
active and industrious, had been several times 
under my care troubled with restless, fidgety 
feet, and promptly cured by Belladonna, Am- 
nion, carb., Zinc, as they seemed indicated by 
her symptoms, nor had she suffered from this 
trouble for the past year, when in the spring 
of ? 94 she had an attack of facial neuralgia on 
left side, extending to left ear and temple and 
left parietal region. 

Before the attack, the feet became cold, then 
this sensation of cold would spread upward 
over whole body, until it reached especially 
severe the left side of head and face : then the 



NUX VOMICA. 103 

neuralgia began with crawling, tingling over 
left eyebrow, then shooting, tearing pains ex- 
tended thence over the whole left side of the 
head ; she was very anxious and restless during 
the attack, going from couch to bed, applying 
hot cloths, but all without relief; she had a 
fear of the future, a foreboding as if some great 
calami ty was before her, had a pressure as of 
a hard lump in the stomach, and very much 
anno}^ed by and sensitive to noise. 

Aeon. 200 seemed to cure, inasmuch as she 
was free from pain for 48 hours, but then the 
neuralgia returned, very much worse, other- 
wise unchanged, and Aeon, in varying poten- 
cies proved unavailing. On the third day 
after its reappearance she gave me the follow- 
ing additional symptoms, which she had for- 
gotten to mention before : With the appear- 
ance of the pain, the nose became obstructed 
with pain at the bridge of nose, and clear 
water running from left eye and nostril. The 
pain was worse from 4 to 7 A. M. and from 9 
A. M. to 2 or 3 P. M., but she was never en- 
tirely free from it. 

Xux vom. 200 in aqua, a teaspoonful every 2 
hours, completely cured the neuralgia, and she 
has had no return of the trouble since. F. H.

involved. The pains would come and go grad- 
ually at very irregular periods, shoot into the 
ear along the side of the neck and under the 
eye, and were always made w r orse by putting 
anything cold in the mouth. To the question, 
if the pain was relieved by putting anything 
warm in the mouth she answered : " Oh, no ; 
that makes it a great deal worse." The pains 
although mostly confined to the right side of 
the face were moving about frequently, often 
after leaving the head appear in the left leg or 
heel ; she was always chilly, easy moved to 
tears, and felt decidedly better in the open air. 
I gave her Puis. 30, two powders, to dissolve 
one in four teaspoonfuls of water, and to take

with the first powder and remained so ; she 
had no need of the second. — F. H. L.

Case I. March 10th, 1890. Mrs. McA., set. 
60, spare, nervous, dark haired, suffering 
severely with the following symptoms: Has 
had sharp, throbbing pain at emergence of 
right supra-orbital nerve for two days, is now

extending to the same nerve on the left side. 
Intense aching in eyeball, conjunctival injec- 
tion, photophobia and profuse lachrymation. 
Pain increases and decreases with the sun at 
the height of the attack, at noon, she groans 
and is very restless. Pain is worse from cold, 
better from warm applications. She had this 
pain thirteen years ago, but an attack of the 
grippe seems to have brought it back again. 

Prescribed Sanguinaria and in fifteen 
minutes she felt a sensible relief and by the 
next day was well, since which there has been 
no return. C. M. B., Med. Ad., 1893, p. 16.

electric shocks, shooting upward with conges- 
tion to head and eyes. 

The pain appears in the morning, immedi- 
ately on awaking, none in the daytime, but 
severe at night, spreading over lower and 
upper maxillae, radiating to vertex, occiput, 
neck, arms and fingers ; tearing, drawing pains 
in the face and nose, with swelling of the 
cheek ; the pains frequently extend to the ear, 
especially on left side, worse by taking either hot 
or cold things in the mouth; in delicate, sensitive. 
nervous women, especially when uterine func- 
tions are disturbed. 



120 SEPIA. 

Paroxysms of facial neuralgia, brought on 
by riding in the wind and from excitement; 
menstrual nisus nearly always attended with 
neuralgic pains of greater or less severity. 
When wind is the exciting cause, the paroxysm 
comes on with a chill; when excitement is the 
cause, it begins with trembling. The pains are 
better from pressure, being in a warm room and 
lying quiet. Cold chills run down the spine. 

Neuralgic pains commence in left temple 
and run over left side of face and down ramus 
of left jaw, throbbing and digging, worse from 
noise , odors of cooking and in the evening, better 
from sleep.

scanty and somewhat stringy ; pain and heavi- 
ness in right ovarian region, better by leaning 
forward; costive, stool alternately hard and 
soft with straining ; emission of urine on 
coughing, walking, or standing on her feet ;

Miss H. J. C, a costumier, had been suffer- 
ing from a severe neuralgia for two years. She 
is of a cheerful disposition, very active and full 
of energy ; has dark hair and a florid complex- 
ion. She described the pain as a maddening, 
boring pain, as if a screw was being driven 
slowly through the left temple. The exciting 
cause was overwork and mental strain, which 
could not be avoided. Indeed business was 
daily increasing and she felt herself totally in- 
capacitated to execute it, and the pain was 



122 SEPIA. 

thereby increased. After the pain she felt 
quite befogged and unable to comprehend her 
work, and became quite confused. If she could 
get only a little sleep she felt a slight amelior- 
ation, but all the pains were aggravated toward 
evening, so that sleep was rarely possible. 
With the exception of habitual constipation, 
she was in normal good health. 

I prescribed Sepia 1 m. F. C, a few globules 
in water, a spoonful to be taken at once. The 
second dose caused a serious aggravation, fol- 
lowed immediately by a marked relief and a 
cure, which has remained permanent, in spite 
of the exciting cause (overwork) which was 
and is still kept up.

been scorched ; no actual pain, only a throb- 
bing, better after eating. 

A heavy cold in the head developed into a 
severe neuralgia of left side of head and face, 
involving the eyes. The pains seem to start 
from the left occipital region and extend for- 
ward ; sharp, tearing, especially in and around 
the eye, much lachrymation, constant nausea 
and occasional vomiting of bile ; the least noise 
even talking aggravates the pain and light is in- 
tolerable.

Clinical. 
Case I. A lady 28 years old applied to me 
for relief. She looked much older, suffering — 
not age — had furrowed her brow, and the ex- 
pression of her face was sad and anxious, 
almost despairing. She assured me that her 
life had been spent in pain of the most ex- 
cruciating character. Her ill health began 
when she was fourteen years of age and every 
week since then had brought three or four 
days and nights of torture. The attacks came 
on in the early morning, increased during the 
forenoon, reached their acme at noon, de- 
creased with the declining sun, ceased at night- 
fall ; returned about ten o'clock in the evening 
and lasted until three or four next morning. 
She described the pain as jerking, shooting and 
burning, usually in the left eyeball, sometimes 
spreading in all directions on left side of face 
and head, but rarely crossing to the right side. 
The height of the paroxysm was attended by 



SPIGELIA. 129 

a profuse flow of tears from the affected eye, 
and she declared the pain was almost unbear- 
able. In addition to this, during damp weather 
she had asthma, accompanied by rheumatic 
pains all over- the body, especially severe in the 
intercostal muscles, with sudden shocks of pain 
in the left chest and violent palpitation of the 
heart. 

In the earlier years of her ailment she had 
consulted many celebrated physicians. Later 
she had been gulled and bled by advertisers. 
Then losing faith in men, though not in 
medicine, she took each new patent anti- 
neuralgic as soon as she could hear of and ob- 
tain it. until finally, hearing of the novelty 
Homoeopathy, she determined to try that. 

I gave her Spigelia 30x, night and morning. 
She was permanently cured within one week. — 
T. J. Hudson, M. D., Kansas City, Mo., Med. 
Adv., 1892, Vol. 29, p. 437. 

Case II. Mrs. M., set. 32, had for more than 
a year been treated with morphine, quinine 
and various patent medicines for a severe pain 
in left side of face and head, occurring daily. 
The treatment having afforded onty slight 
temporary relief, she was induced by friends 
to try Homoeopathy, and she called on me ac- 
cordingly. A study of the case led me to sup- 
pose Spigelia was the remedy indicated.

130 SPONGIA TOSTA. 

I gave Spigelia 12x, to be dissolved in water 
and taken, a spoonful four times a day. About 
ten days from the time of prescribing she re- 
ported as having been entirely free from pain 
for six days. The next day after commencing 
the medicine the paroxysm was much more 
severe than usual, but on the next day was 
much less ; on the third day it was less still, 
and after the third day there was no return of 
the paroxysm and has not been to this day, an 
interval of five years. — Wm. M. Huston, M. D., 
Urbana, Ohio, Med. Adv., 1892, Vol. 29, p. 144. 

Case III. Spigelia 3x cured the following 
case: Mrs. D., set. 40, while in good health, 
was attacked by the following symptoms : The 
neuralgia began in the occiput, and settled 
over the left eye and in cheek ; the character 
of the pain was tearing, jerking, burning. The 
suffering was increased by noise, cold, warmth, 
or any jarring of the body. It would begin in 
the morning, increase during the day and sub- 
side at night. She was very sensitive to any 
change of the weather. — Med. Current, October, 
1890.

Case I. An Allopath had suffered since a 
child with violent neuralgia of the face and 
head, which nothing had helped. In this case 
the pain would come stealing on in a slow and 
and sure fashion, requiring hours to reach its 
maximum of intensity, and then begin to de- 
crease, which was quite as slow. 

I gave him Stannum 5c (Tafel). He has 
called several times since and received a repeti- 
tion of the remedy or Sac. lac, as I thought 
best, but find the attacks further and further 
apart and relieved at once by the remedy. He 
had never been able to attend any place of 
amusement without deserting his friends to 
" seek the seclusion that his cabin grants," and 
to stop all business, when particularly anxious 
to stick to it, was his regular program. Since

of lower jaw and temple of right side; better 
from tear mth and lying on the affected side ; 
comes on gradually and leaves suddenly. 

Right-sided neuralgia, affecting face from 
temple to lower canine teeth, aching and jerk- 
ing pain with twitches and contortions of face 
and deep blue circle under right eye ; chatter- 
ing of the teeth, dimness of sight, black appear- 
ance or wavering of objects before the eyes. 

Buzzing in right ear; frequent sensation as 
if skin of cheek, and chin, were pinched ; ivorse 
in bed and from excess of heat or cold. 

Painful shocks in forehead and temples, ivorse 
in forenoon and evening, 

Aggr, From excess of heat or cold, in the

SYPHILINUM. 141 

decreased, and finally ceased about 10 A. M. ; the 
attacks get gradually more severe and last 
longer; first feels cold all over, almost a shiver, 
then soreness as if beaten in right half of head, 
extending a little beyond middle line on vertex ; 
in about thirty minutes scalding lachrymation 
from right eye, with shooting backward, in- 
creased to a boring backward therein ; the eye 
is very red and closes with photophobia, gnaw- 
ing pains extend down right side of face and 
whole of nose ; the head is the worst, when the 
eye is bad ; during paroxysm the right eye feels 
as if lids were wide open, and cold air blowing on 
exposed eye. She perceives a horizontal band 
across pupil of right eye, hindering sight; this 
came on soon after paroxysm commenced ; the 
eye is relieved by placing a handkerchief on 
head and letting it hang over eyes, also by 
gentle pressure, though she cannot bear much 
pressure ; it is more painful when lying on 
right {affected) side, when also right side of 
head feels sore. Eight eye red, and red vessels 
run all over it, converging toward iris ; right 
pupil horizontally oval, right iris looks dull, and 
there is a slight brown hue around pupil, the 
left eye is normal ; attacks seem to have orig- 
inated from sitting at a window in a cold 
draught, the right eye being next to the win- 
dow. 



142 SYPHILINUM. 

Body, extremities and face covered with 
syphilides, a sticking soreness begins in throat 
every evening between 6 and 7 o'clock, and 
continues to grow worse during the night ; 
exceedingly restless until 4 A. M., then a rest- 
less sleep for a few hours. Can scarcely swal- 
low; when swallowing a sensation as if throat 
were tearing to pieces ; continual throbbing in 
the throat, worse from cold and hot drinks and 
lying down; throbbing in temples and ears, 
boring in ears, meeting in center of brain ; 
sensation as if top of head were coming off; 
drawing pain in eyes worse from lamplight; 
teeth pain when eating, also when taking any- 
thing hot or cold, feel as if they were loose, 
better from pressing teeth together and pressing 
throat with hands. Excessive flow of saliva, it 
runs out of the mouth when sleeping ; severe pain 
in neck, better from bending head backward ; ach- 
ing pain in the shoulders and knees, rending 
tearing pains throughout the body, better when 
moving about slowly ; had his wife hide his re- 
volver, lest in a fit of desperation he might kill 
himself, as was his desire during the extreme 
paroxysms of pain : strikes wall with fists, and 
beats head against the wall for relief. Stools 
hard and dry, like sheep's dung ; desire for stool 
three or four times a day, but only a little 
scentless wind passes, which gives relief; the 



TABACUM. 143

regularly under atropine; tension changeable, 
even within a short time, though more fre- 
quently diminished than otherwise ; eyeball 
sensitive to touch, pain excessive and always 
present, varies from a dull grumbling, aching, 
beating, sore pain to a severe, sharp, darting, 
almost driving the patient crazy, especially 
severe over and around the eye, extending 
through to occiput on corresponding side, 
often following the course of the supra-orbital 
nerve, always worse at night, and frequently ac- 
companied by severe paroxysms, particularly

PART II. 
Sciatic Neuralgia, 

WITH 

Clinical Cases and 
Repertory, 

BY 

F\ H. Lxjtzk, M. D. 



SCIATIC NEURALGIA. 

1. AOONITUM. 

Leaden heaviness and numbness of limbs, 
worse ascending, inability to raise them from 
the ground. Tingling, pricking and asleep 
sensation. Pain in right hip, better walking in 
the open air. Contraction of cords under knees ; 
drawing inside of both legs, worse walking, 
with sensitiveness to touch. Short feeling in 
tendons of hams and tendo-achilles. Tearing 
upward in left outer ankle. Drawing tearing 
in left hip joint on moving; shooting, tearing 
pains in legs, knees, ankles and toes. Tingling, 
commencing in the feet and spreading upwards. 

Aggr. From cold air, moving, ascending 
steps, during rest. 

Amel. Walking in open air. 

2. AG-ARICUS MUSCARIUS. 

Twitching and convulsive shocks in limbs, 
tearing and stitches. Trembling, cramplike, 
burning, bruised, boring, piercing pain, worse 
from walking and ascending, relieved by sitting. 

Violent ischiatic pain, neither touch nor 
pressure, neither walking nor rest has any in- 
fluence, but is aggravated by stooping or from, 
change of position. 



214 AMMONIUM MURIATICUM. 

Electric like shocks through lower limbs, 
mostly in the left, suddenly awaking him ; 
great heaviness of legs. 

Aggr. From stooping, change of position ; 
from walking or ascending. 

Amel. By sitting. 

3. AMMONIUM MURIATICUM. 

Cramplike contraction in left hip, in popliteal 
region and in lower part of left leg ; hamstrings 
painful, as if too short, worse and must limp when 
walking. 

Violent tearing and stitches, with ulcerative 
pain in heels, occur also at night in bed, at 
times relieved by rubbing. 

Tearing in front and external surface of 
right thigh when sitting in the evening. 

Intermittent tearing in left hip extending 
down thigh in the afternoon when sitting, at 
first relieved by rising. 

Neuralgia of the stump after amputation. 
(Cepa., Asafoet.) 

Aggr. When sitting, when walking, in the 
evening and afternoon. 

Amel. By lying down, from rubbiug, on ris- 
ing. 

Clinical. 

Mr. H. M. E., aged 48, a carpenter by trade, 
has been working during the cold weather in 



ARGENTUM NITRICUM. 215 

an exposed place. For three days he has suf- 
fered from a severe drawing pain in left leg, 
commencing at nates and extending down the 
posterior aspect of the thigh to popliteal 
space and into the calf of the leg, better while 
lying quietly with leg extended, and while walk- 
ing slowly, but is unbearable when sitting. Ehus 
tox. and Pulsatilla afforded no relief (of course 
not), but for the two days he was wasting with 
these drugs he grew steadily worse, the only 
relief he had was by the recumbent position. 
Ammon. mur. cm. (H. S.) relieved in two 
hours and cured in a day and a-half. He re- 
ceived but one dose. Clarence Willard Butler, 
M. D., H. P., 1888, p. 93. 

4. ARGENTUM NITRIOUM. 

Periodical pain from hip to knee with para- 
lytic heaviness and weakness of legs, does not 
know where to put them. Cramplike pain 
in the calves all night with startings, which 
awaken him. Chorealike motions, lassitude, 
jerking and trembling. Paroxysmal nervous 
cramplike drawing through right thigh ; in 
hips along ischias antica to knees. 

Aggr. At night and mornings. 

5. ARNIOA MONTANA.

Aggr. When sitting with thigh extended. 

Amel. By violent friction. 

Clinical. 

A lady subject to neuralgia and headache; 
when the headache was relieved, by walking, 
speaking or especially by violent rubbing, the 
pain would appear in a small spot on lower 
extremity, most often the right foot, where, 
however, it was less severe. 

Arnica cured after Rhus t. had given only 
temporary relief. 

6. ARSENICUM ALBUM. 

Pain back of great trochanter extending 
down thigh posteriorily, then towards knee 
anteriorly, embracing patella down tibia to 
ankle, somewhat relieved by flexion of knee.

Clinical. 

Case I. Mr. D. D. C, aged 50 years, came to 
me on Saturday, June 4th, saying he had been 
suffering for more than a week with pain in 
both limbs, extending down thighs and some- 
times into calves and heels. 

When sitting upright on a chair or standing 
still in certain positions, or even walking 
about on a smooth surface, the pains are ab- 
sent, but when getting up or sitting down the 
sharp, cutting, crampy pain was " damnable." 
He could not lie down and had slept sitting up 
for five nights. There was no swelling, or red- 
ness, no tenderness on pressure, no relief from 
the application of heat or liniments ; appetite 
good, bowels regular, slept well considering the 
position, and feeling well as above stated. 

He received one dose of Colocynthis cm., 
went to bed that night and slept soundly, went 
to work Monday and has not had a twinge of 
pain since. H. F. Smiley, M. D., Chicago ; M. 
A., 1894. Vol. 31, p. 138. 

Case II Mr. G. H. has been all of nine 
months under treatment. First allopathic, 
then with two eclectic doctors successively, for 
sciatica of right leg, hip, and lower extremity, 



228 COLOCYNTHIS. 

better from continued exercise, especially from 
running till tired, then better for awhile by ly- 
ifig still, better from heat and rubbing, worse 
in damp weather and in the day-time; at night 
in bed he can roll around freely, and turn over 
without suffering any pain. 

Ehus 75 m., 1 powder ; although it does not 
correspond to the aggravation in the day-time, 
yet every other symptom seemed to corre- 
spond. 

The next day I was sent for, as he was very 
much worse, yet the night had been passed as 
comfortable as usual. He showed me some 
homoeopathic pellets the last eclectic doctor 
had given him, one-half ounce nearly full with 
about a half drachm of a tincture looking 
very much like Ehus tox., and concluded that 
the symptoms presented the day before were 
all due to this drug, for the powder Ehus 75 m. 
had removed them all, except the amelioration 
at night, which, continued along with the fol- 
lowing new symptoms : Pain in the right hip 
and lower extremity of a drawing, tearing, 
cramping character, with a sensation of con- 
traction or shortening ; drawing, aching on 
inner side of left thigh, all worse in the day- 
time, and from slightest motion, better by 
lying perfectly still and at night; can move 
and roll around in bed at night, freely without

Clinical. 

I succeeded two years ago in curing a 
chronic case of this painful affection with 
Lycopodium mm. (Johnston.) 

I had several times partially relieved her 



244 LYCOPODItJM. 

with Rhus tox, Chamomilla etc. but the parox- 
ysms, to which she had been subject for years 
would return. The condition, when the Lyco- 
podium was given, was that the pain was 
very much aggravated, by pressure upon 
the affected side, either by sitting, or 
especially by lying upon it. It was the 
right side. The patient complained that, 
when lying upon the affected side, it seemed 
as though the pain and sore feeling was deep 
in the joint. When not lying on the painful 
side, the pain always ran down from the hip 
to the part on the outside of the leg. Phyto- 
lacca was prescribed on this indication, with 
only little if any relief. When the patient 
mentioned this symptom, of deep seated pains 
in the joint, it called to my mind^that I had 
read in a society discussion somewhere, that 
Lippe said that Lycopodium affected the ends of 
the bones, and might it not be that there was 
an inflammation in the head of the femur. Act- 
ing on this as a sort of a guiding symptom, I 
found, on again reviewing the case in its past 
history, that she had at times suffered from 
rheumatic soreness in her ankles, so that she 
could walk only with the greatest difficulty. 
She was and had been troubled with a great 
deal of flatulence and constipation, and thus I 
was enabled to see quite a number of Lycopo- 



LYSSIN. 245 

dium symptoms in my case. Under this remedy 
in this very high potency she made a rapid 
and full recovery and she had no return of the 
trouble.

Case I. A man over seventy years old 
suffered from sciatica several years, during 
which time he obtained no relief, although 
under the care of a homoeopathist in the last 
two years. April 26th, 1887, complained of 
pain in the left hip and thigh - r worse in stormy 
wet weather, from sitting long and when lying 
on the opposite side ; relief from walking, 
motion and warmth; weak gone feeling in 
stomach before meals. Milk disagrees, gave 
Rhus tox. mm., one dose. May 6th., pain iu 
hip and thigh better notwithstanding a severe 
cold, from which he now suffered. 

The present symptoms are: Chilliness in 
back, chills run upward, the pain in the left 
thigh is a burning pain. Gave Lachesis cm. 
one dose. 

May 13th, comes in happy, says he has not 



RHUS TOXICODENDRON. 255 

been so well in years and continues so at this 
date. J. A.' Biegler, M. D., Rochester, N. Y. 
Horn. Phys., 1887, Vol 7, p. 478. 

Case II Mr. M. had suffered for four or five 
weeks from sciatica, for which allopathic 
physicians had been unable to do anything. 
He was lying in bed, resting on his left side, 
and moving his right leg constantly. Elec- 
tricity had been employed with but slight re- 
lief. He could not stay in bed at night, 
particularly after midnight, but had to get up 
and walk abo it. Constant thirst, drinking 
little at a time, frequent voiding of scanty 
urine, smelling strong, could not lie on back or 
right side, worse during windy weather ; icy 
coldness of affected part. Ars. 10th was pre- 
scribed for two days, without result, when he 
mentioned he was worse in damp weather and 
damp air. Rhus tox. 10 was then given for 
3 days, without much relief. 

On the night of the third day he obtained 
ten hour's sleep and in two days more went 
about his business in the open air. A slight 
relapse from some cause was rapidly removed 
by Rhus tox.

Clinical. 

Case I. Mrs. S., set. 47 years, had suffered 
several years ago from ah eruption on different 
parts of the body. She consulted me August 
the 3d, 1892, on account of an ischias on the 
right side, from which she has suffered since 
last February. She says, she was at first sick 
for eight days, during which the pains were on 
both sides. Then it settled in her right hip 
and then went downward, and is now so that 
she suffers all the time. She cannot endure 
sitting, or keeping quiet, long at a time. Ag- 
gravation at night in bed (when at rest); she 
must lie on the painful side, she sweats pro- 
fusely. Before this disease sat in, she suffered 
from headache on awaking in the morning. 
This has now disappeared, general health good. 
Sepia 40, a dose every seventh evening.

September 8th. The primary action of the 
remedy was very violent, and it continued a 
week. She perceived a clear improvement in 
every direction after the second dose, including 
sleep. I now gave her the remedy every 
seventh evening, and no other was required to 
complete the cure. Dr. Kunkel, Kiel. Archive 
fur Homoeopathie. 

Case II. A countryman, always well until 
the present illness, consulted me July 25th 
1892. He has suffered since last January from 
ischias of the left hip. He feels no pain when 
working in an upright position, but it appears 
immediately on stooping. Slight sweat on en- 
tire body, particularly of the head. Sultry air 
is intolerable. When sitting long the pain is 
constant, and disappears on rising and walk- 
ing about. Free from pain at night. Aggrava- 
tion on catching cold. 

Sepia 30, a dose every seventh evening. Sep- 
tember 5th, he is almost well, except on 
stooping there is some pain below the left 
trochanter (formerly it was in the whole ex- 
tremity) which soon disappears on motion. 
Dr. Kunkel, Kiel ; Archive fur Homoeopathie. 

Case III. Mr. G., set. 48, had sciatica in both 
lower extremities and had taken Gaultheria, 
and Bry. on his own account, and also two 



silica. 259 

prescriptions from a Homoeopath, without any 
improvement, he felt despondent and was 
worse during the day. Nux v. 200 gave him 
some relief; no pain in the left leg, but the 
right seemed worse ; aggravated from coughing, 
sneezing, or pressing at stool ; the constipation 
was so great that it required manual aid to 
evacuate the stool ; he could not ride com- 
fortably, but was somewhat relieved by walking 
rapidly. Pains severe all day, slept good 
without pain at night : Sepia 45m, two powders 
taken a week apart, gave complete relief. F. H.

Clinical. 

Case I. A lady about forty years of age had 
suffered for many months from sciatica and, 
had endured much from many physicians and 
drugs without relief. The peculiarities of the 
case were as follows: The pain was confined 
to the outer side of the left thigh, was aggra- 
vated by lying down, and especially aggra- 
vated by lying on the left or painful side. In the 
night she was frequently obliged to rise and 
walk about, the pain would be so persistent 
and unbearable. Even lying down for a few 
minutes in the daytime would bring on the 
pain. She felt that the pain was wearing her 
out. Examination revealed no tenderness of 
the sciatic nerve,the ischiatic notch or the spine. 



262 SULPHUR. 

The pain was of an indefinite character, as she 
expressed it " a dull ache •' but intolerable. 

The relief from moving was so marked day 
and night that I assured her that the remedy 
which I would give her would relieve, and, as 
a 4 matter of course, I gave her Rhus tox. 6 in 
water, a teaspoonful every two hours. After 
three days there was not the slightest effect 
observable from the medicine, the conditions 
were exactly the same. 

I felt so confident that Rhus was the correct 
remedy, that I continued it in the 60x still 
without the slightest relief, and my patient 
was beginning to be discouraged. So I took 
my notes home, and sat down with my little 
Boeninghausen's pocket-book to work the case 
out properly. 

I took the following rubrics in order : 

1. Aggravated from lying down in any 
position (see page 289). 

2. Aggravated from lying down on left side 
(see page 290). 

3. Aggravated from lying down on painful 
side (see page 290). 

4. The outer side of thigh (see page 136). 

5. The left lower extremity (see page 142). 
On reviewing the case carefully I found 

that though the aggravation from lying down 
was decidedly marked (see page 270), yet the

aggravation at night was also marked. Adding 
then the values of the drugs, as made out on 
Dr. Yingling's checking list (which is an im- 
mense convenience), I found that Rhus had 15 
votes, to Sulphur 14; these were the two 
highest. Silica came next, also with 14, and 
Baryta carb. 13. 

While I could elicit no special symptoms to 
distinguish between Sulphur and Silica, since 
the lady seemed perfectly well in every other 
respect, having failed with Rhus tox. I pro- 
ceeded to administer Sulphur, which acted im- 
mediately, so that within a week or ten days 
my patient seemed to be almost entirely cured.

1893. 

Case II. Mr. H. B. had been treated for 6 
weeks by an old school "doctor with Quinine, 
etc., and for the last week with morphine, for 
a severe sciatica of the left leg. The symp- 
toms June, 1895, were as follows : Pains worse 
at night, very violent, causing sleeplessness 
and restlessness ; some relief was obtained, 
especially during the day, by lying on the back 
with leg stretched out. Nux v. 200 improved 
him somewhat, but in a few days the pains 
were worse again, and he complained of a 
severe and painful contraction of tendons in 
the hollow of the knee. Natr. mur cm. in aq. 



264 SYPHILINUM. 

a teaspoonful every two hours, completely re- 
lieved him of all pain after the second dose 
and after a few days he resumed his usual 
occupation, very hard manual labor. 

But in two weeks the sciatica returned as 
severe as before, the pains were excruciating, 
especially at night, very much aggravated 
from walking, yet very restless, especially after 
midnight, somewhat better during the day, 
especially lying on back with leg stretched 
out ; he could not even sit long enough to eat 
his meals. The pains were tearing, shooting 
down on outside and back of left leg, with a 
sensation of contraction of tendons in lower 
third of the back of the left thigh. Sulph 5dm. 
in aq. a teaspoonful every two hours, and two 
weeks later Sulph cm. administered in the 
same way produced a complete cure, and he 
has suffered no relapse since, though his labor 
has been the same as before. F. H. L. 

78. SYPHILINUM. 
Tearing pains in hip and thigh, worse at 
night, better about daybreak and by walking; not 
effected by weather. The neuralgia begins 8 
to 9 p. m., and is better by daybreak. 

Clinical. 
Sciatic aduringBright's disease. Pains lanci- 
nating, the whole length of lower extremity,

Clinical. 

Dr. B., July 22d, 1867. Sciatica in left lower 
limb, worse when coughing, laughing, sneezing, 
going to stool, straightening the limb, stepping 
lower than imagined. Eheumatism in small 
of back preceded it. The pain goes from the 
foramen sciaticum down to the foot, which is 
numb. Suffers since June 28th. 

Tellur. met. 90 m F. helped him, and since 
then he cures all (?) the sciaticas of his pa- 
tients with Tellur 90 m. So he told me to-day.

Clinical. 
Mrs. G., a young married lady, seven month's 
pregnant with first child, slender built, blue 
eyes, dark brown hair, had sciatica on the right 
side. Had prescribed for her a number of 
times. The pain ran from the hip down the 
outside of the thigh, or at times she said it was 
more towards the back of the thigh. Finally 
the symptom came out that she was worse 
when straightening out the limb, especially, 
in standing, but could stand at her work with 
comparative comfort if she stood with foot of 
the affected side upon a chair. Hering's Con- 
densed has : Pain in hip and thigh, intolerable 
when standing, as if the thigh would break,

This book is the corner-stone of the whole homoeo- 
pathic edifice, the text-book embracing the fundamental 
principles of homoeopathic practice, Samuel Hahnemann's 
Organon. It has wrought a greater change in this world 
than any other book of purely human origin. It has 
brought a mighty but bloodless revolution, and the 
revolutionary forces it let loose are still growing, deepen- 
ing and widening in all directions. It is a book that 
small men have looked to see drop into oblivion, but it 
treads on down the century a giant among pygmies. As 
one reads its pages, ever and anon the feeling comes over 
him that Hahnemann instinctively feels that he is not 
the author, but the messenger of the great tidings — that 
his message is from a greater than he ; he does not claim 
this, but, at times, when dwelling on the deep truth, he 
is singularly reverent and humble ; there is no arrogance 
or assumption of "my discovery," but ''God mercifully 
permitted Homoeopathy to be discovered," It is the 
spirit of a truly great mind.

This book, together with the Chronic Diseases by 
Hahnemann, is the basis of nearly all the homoeopathic 
works on materia medica, and if the student of that 
science will take the trouble he can trace nearly all our 
key-notes and red letter symptoms back to these books. 
Thorough and exhaustive re-provings of the many drugs, 
whose provings were originally given to the world in 
these books, have been made since then, but in no 
instance has the practical accuracy of the original been 
questioned. In these books is to be found the homoeo- 
pathic materia medica in its purity.

No work by Hahnemann has excited so much 
criticism and controversy among his followers as The 
Chronic Diseases; on the one hand, it is said to be a work 
of a great mind gone astray, and on the other, a work so 
far in advance even of present day medicine that but few 
can comprehend its magnificient scope. There is one 
fact, however, about this work that stands out undisputed, 
namely, that to it we owe most of our remedies that 
are the sheet anchors of physicians in chronic diseases — 
such remedies as Calcarea, Graphites, Lycopodium, Phos- 
phorus, Sepia, Silicea, not to mention many others 
almost as useful ; it would seem that this fact ought to 
settle the inestimable valuable of this, Hahnemann's last 
ork in this world.

An Explanatory Commentary on the Homoeopathic System.

*£& f£™ t£* 



This book, Hahnemann's Defence^ was published 
early in the Centennial year of Homoeopathy, 1896. The 
work was professedly published in the original as Hahne- 
mann's son, Friedrich's, but reading a few pages will 
show anyone that it is from Hahnemann's pen, which 
fact Dr. Dudgeon proves in his preface and gives the 
reason why it was published in this manner. 

The book is strong meat indeed — a good diet for 
the weak and the doubters. Words are not minced or 
smooth phrases chosen ; the fight is to the finish, and no 
quarter asked or given. It is a brave literary tonic. 

This is the only English translation ever made of the 
Defence.
